debt help

hi looking for advice for a friend, basically he has been advised to contact credit cards and other people he owes to offer token payments.
His problem is one of them are DFS, and payments are collected by Santander. But he also has car finance with santander, will defaulting on one have any effect on the other account?
Handing car back is not an option as he will still owe far more than it is worth,so he wants to try and keep paying this.
I dont really know what to advise.

    For a whole picture we need the SOA as fatbelly says. For a quick answer then it *shouldn't* affect his car finance, but really without the whole picture this one bit of knowledge on it's own is pretty misleading. An SOA really helps.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
